Captain Scott's final letter up for grabs at Bonhams polar sale

A farewell letter from polar explorer Captain Scott in which he pledged that
his team would "die like gentlemen" is expected to sell for
£150,000 at auction. The letter, which was found on Scott's body in
November 1912, was written on March 16 of that year to financier Sir Edgar
Speyer, honorary treasurer of the fund-raising committee for the ill-fated
trip. Scott wrote, "We have been to the Pole and we shall die like
gentlemen."
